Only At Wal-Mart

Only at Wal-Mart

By Elton Camp

Where you must park a mile away
Beggars are at the doors every day

Vacant shelves all over the store
How can shoppers ask for more

Items out of stock for weeks
A bathroom that, of urine reeks

The brands you want not on display
They force “Great Value” their way

The rollbacks, goodness sakes alive
Was nineteen dollars, now $20.95

Longer to check out than to shop
Long lines make you want to drop

We now shop there less and less
Higher prices not so bad, I guess

Publix and Kroger get our dough
More and more it is becoming so
